TIP: 

If you have installed a channel extension module 

(optional UR-FR5000/UR-FR6000 series), an additional 

controller in it enables you to control each channel 

module from a PC in the Conventional/Trunking operation 

mode.

 Installing the UC-FR5000

 Install the controller into the channel module using six of the 

seven supplied 3 × 8 mm screws.

NOTE: BE SURE

 to match the holes in the controller to 

the projections on the channel module’s chassis.

Connecting the flat cable

NOTE: BE SURE

 to insert the flat cable with the metal 

strips facing the edge of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), 

and not the opposite way.

1.  Turn the channel module upside down. 

     Insert one end of the flat cable into J8 on the PCB of 

the channel module. Then, carefully pass the flat cable 

through the opening of the channel module’s chassis to 

the top side.

NOTE:

 

•  CAT-5 straight cables are required for connection. (User 

supplied)

 

 BE  SURE

 to cover each connected cable with a supplied 

dust protector. Even if the cable has its own cover, 

replace it with the supplied dust protector.

 

 KEEP

 the supplied connector caps attached when the 

connectors are not in use, to avoid getting bad contacts 

from dust and moisture.

Each controller has a LAN connector and two BUS 

connectors. 

q

  [LAN] connector 

   For an Ethernet connection. Connect the controller to an 

Ethernet (LAN) port of a PC.

   In the Trunking mode, the controller at one end of the 

chain must be connected. You can control the controller 

and all others in the chain from the PC.

w

  [BUS] connectors (BUS-1, BUS-2)

   For data communication between the controllers in the 

Trunking mode, either BUS-1 or BUS-2 can be used. 

They enable the controllers to be “daisy-chained” 

together, and form a network that allows trunking and 

other data to pass among them.
